If you want to make "cheese wiz" without using American cheese, you can combine equal parts of citric acid and baking soda by volume (about half a teaspoon each for this much cheese you see in the video) into maybe a couple of ounces of warm water and stirr over a gentle heat until it stops foaming. Then you can add your cheese and no matter what kind of cheese you add, it will come out as thick and as smooth as what you see in the video. The reason this works is because the baking soda and citric acid react to make sodium citrate, which is the main emulsifying agent in most American cheese brands that makes it able to melt super smooth and silky. The reason I say to use equal parts by volume and not weight is because (a) I did the math and their densities and molar masses cancel almost perfectly (within an error of 1%) such that exactly one part by volume of one ingredient will react with an equal part of the other and (b) even if my math is a bit off, it's not going to matter too much as you will hardly taste that amount of one of the unreacted ingredients in that much cheese.

Have you had a Philly Cheesesteak yet? If not, my heart goes out to you. It must be difficult living without such luxuries in life. If you're American and you want a crappy one just to dabble, you can get them at any Subway. Just ask for Italian bread, provolone cheese and tell them to toast the bell peppers with the cheese and steak. It'll get you close. But you should google cheesesteaks in your area. Most major metropolitan areas have at least one cheesesteak joint. Treat yourself!

My fav Cheesesteak place growing up tho was Donkeys, better than anything in philly and just across the bridge in camden. The major element of a good cheesesteak is Ribeye. Your sandwich looks very good but if you just swapped out the NY strip for ribeye you would get something much more authentic and tender.

Sodium citrate for the cheezy topping! I'm still working on what proportions I like for variously cheeses and liquids but have found this ratio in my Googling: 8oz (1/2 lb) cheese, diced/sliced 1/2 C liquid/wine/salsa 1/2 tsp sodium citrate. Heat gradually, stirring along the way; it suddenly becomes nacho cheese with stirring and heat, unless, there's too much liquid, or some other factor is off.

For fast cheese sauce, use sodium citrate. Then you can skip the evaporated milk and American cheese. You just use whatever cheese blend you want with an appropriate amount of sodium citrate. It's nice to cut down your cheese sauce to contain 99% cheese instead of having fillers like milk, "American cheese"/Velveeta, a butter-flour roux, etc.--sodium citrate lets your cheese sauce be 99% cheese (and the only thing you added is a salt with salty flavor). Provolone and swiss would be good if you're going to put some mushrooms, red bell peppers, and some horseradish. Or cheddar and use green bell peppers. Pickled peppers are not a bad idea . . . but making a cheese steak without any peppers at all is some kind of crime. Sodium citrate should be your go-to ingredient any time you want a fast cheese sauce. (Or even if you are taking your time with a recipe, you will see that using sodium citrate is superior to whatever elaborate roux/bechamel/condensed milk nonsense the recipe calls for.)
@boomerfunnyjimgaffigan49983 жыл бұрын
what is the ratio for sodium citrate to cheese here?
@armacham3 жыл бұрын
@@boomerfunnyjimgaffigan4998 I have been using about 1 tsp per pound of cheese, or slightly less that. I haven't experimented with how low I can take it and still get a smooth sauce. At 1 tsp/pound, it hasn't been overly salty, and Sodium Citrate isn't expensive, so I don't really have an incentive to try to experiment with reducing the ratio below that. I did once dump in too much sodium citrate without measuring, and I over-salted my food, so now I always measure it. It's pretty easy to measure just be eyeballing how much is on my spoon and eyeballing the cheese to guess its weight. I could obviously be more precise than that, but it hasn't been a problem, so I haven't worried about it.

I will be following this recipe next time I go to make cheesesteaks. That said, for anyone else following the recipe: if you have an extra 8 minutes to do this in 30 minutes instead of 22, finely mince your meat. Every great cheesesteak has meat nearly as fine as powder. I don't know the reason, only that completely mincing the meat always leads to better mouth feel, flavor, and mixing of the ingredients.
